As a result, an ever-expanding group of faculty with very different backgrounds and training routinely confront the question: \"How should I teach the \u003cem\u003eDaode Jing\u003c\/em\u003e?\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten for non-specialists who may not have a background in ancient Chinese culture, the essays collected in this volume provide up-to-date information on contemporary scholarship and classroom strategies that have been successful in a variety of teaching environments. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA classic text like the \u003cem\u003eDaode Jing\u003c\/em\u003e generates debate among scholars and teachers who ask questions like: Should we capitalize on popular interest in the \u003cem\u003eDaode Jing\u003c\/em\u003e in our classrooms? Which of the many translations and scholarly approaches ought we to use? Is it appropriate to think of the \u003cem\u003eDaode Jing\u003c\/em\u003e as a religious text at all?
